(COUIlESrOXDEN'CE OF THE TIMEB.) NEW TORK, Dec. 16, lS95.The im portance of saving the business man's time beoomes every day more imperative, and that this fact Is recognized is seen in the many time-saving devices which are now introduced in most branches of industry.

Of these devices one of the most striking and effective Is the calouiagraph, which is of special use In telephone and telegraph service. To the average man sitting, waiting, with the telephone receiver at his ear, a de lay of fifteen seconds Is apt to be try ing to the temper, and not Infrequently results In the lodging of a complaint. In exchanges doing extra-territorial business or tn whloh toll rate is charged instead of a flat subscription rate, each subscriber's call must be re corded. This requires time, and even the slight unavoidable delay may give rise to complainits. In the long-distance telephone service, which is exclusively on the toll system, every noi- e.Die means ror shortening the time be tween tne rimg-up of the calling subscriber and the beginning of conversation with his correspondent has been applied, and the introduction of the cal culagraph, which performs a variety of functions heretofore requiring time and manual lanor on the part of the operator, has resulted In a marked train in the efficiency of the service.

This In strument consists essentially of a clock movement, operating a time stamp. The stamp consists of a dial on which are marked the hours of the day, and moving with it, but capable of being operated Independently, is an arrow, which points to the hour of which It Is desired to keep a record. It works In the following way: The operator at the recording board in the telephone ex change records each call made on a card check. As soon as the call is re ceived, she disconnects the trunk at the local exchange. The check is then in serted in the calculagraph, and by the slight movement of a handle, Is stamped wtth the time.

The object of this is to afford means for tracing the time which has elapsed between the receipt of the call at the recording board, and. Its delivery into the hands of the operator at the tool-line board. After this i done, the card check Is brought over to the toll-line section. and the operator passes the oall, say, ror example, to Boston, and receives a reply as to whether the person called Is In or not, the answer being noted on t)he card. When the two parties have actually hegun talking, the ticket Is again inserted in the calculauranh.

placed beside the and by pressing- down a suitable lever the time of the commencement of the conversa tion is stamped on the ticket. This constitutes the Second use of the cal-culagnaph. If there should be noise or interruption of the wire after the con versation has begun, the rime taken up Dy in interruption is indicated on the back of the card check, and the calling parties are given credit for It. Finally, after the conversation has closed, the ticket is again stamped by the cressure of another lever, which gives a record of the total actual tima thai has elapsed, in minutes and quarter-mln- uxes. xne principle embodied in the calculagraph is adapted to' a great variety of uses.

In all sorts of races, and many other sports, the advantage of its use is obvious, as also wherever labor is employed and paid for by the hour, and In the recording of the running time of street cars. By changing the figures of the dial from hours and minutes to dollars and cents, the calculagraph becomes a dollar and instrument, and prints the actual value of the time elapsed. In district messenger offices the instrument can be used for printing upon the tlckeb-the mes senger carries the amount to be paid ior nis services, it couia, or course, be also employed to record the earnings of electric boats, which are rented by the hour, or for any other annaratun whlnh is rented for a stated1 period. ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER FROM GARBAGE CREMATORIES. The question of deriving lijrht and power from the refuse of cities is forc ing Itself on the attention of every large municipality in the country.

England has at the present time over one hundred at work, manv of which are furnishing power for industrial establishments, at a rate considerably less than the same power would cose ii oDiainea irom coal, un the contrary, it is questionable whether a. sin. gle instance can be found in this country where the calorific value of garbage as fuel has been utilized for steam raising purposes. It would seem, with destructors In such successful operation abroad, with conditions as favorable here, as elsewhere, with many municipalities owning their own electric lieht plant, and lastly, with a strong popular feellntr in favor Of the sanitary mm. bustlon of that there were strong reasons wny tms matter of crematories operated In conjunction with Industrial lighting plants should be taken up here, as It has been in England.

It is surprising that there are In this country no such combined plants as abroad, the only explanation resting on the assump tion inai saniiary cremation companies are not fully alive to what can be accomplished with different forms of storage apparatus. It is now found that storage batteries are cheaper in first cost than the equivalent steam power plant, which they would replace, have a wider, range of power, and are more economical in operation than other forms of storage apparatus. An eminent American authority urges the taking up of this question by American cities, and maintains that besides having a sanitary method of disnoslnsc of their refuse, they would find th3t their lighting plant could be onerated cheaper than without the crematory adjunct; while the storage apparatus, besides enabling them to-use the heat going to waste the greater part of the day end night, when there is not a large demand for power, would give a wide range of power to the lighting station, which could thus respond to the fluctuations Of load incidental to electric lighting, and save generating machinery from the strains to which it would otherwise be subject To show the status of this movement in England, it may be mentioned that in the city of Hull a combined plant of garbage crematories and storage system is being installed by a firm of standing under a guarantee in which there are heavy penalties for failure that the apparatus in question will produce 100.000 pounds, of steam in twenty-four hours, by the combustion of the refuse without the use of coal or additional fuel. TELEPHONE WEATHER EULLE- TINS. A very important' step has been taken In the organisation of a supplementary weather warning service by means of the telephone, and a plan is now being proposed for affording to a lanre num ber of communities the advantages of the worst cases of wastinv drain.

SANTA ANA. Deo, Cor respondence.) rlge of the Anaheim Union Water com' pany has returnee! from a visit of six months or more to Boston and other portions of the East in time to make himself heard in matters pertaining to the affairs of the company during and before his absence. Mr. Amerlge writes a letter to the Fullerton Tribune from which the following is taken: "The circular letter published and dis tributed, broadcast throughout the wa ter district, and purported to echo the entiment of 2000 shares of stock in the Anaheim Union Water Company dis trlct, is somewhat ambiguous In its statements and calculated to causa a smile of Dity to pass over the counte nance of the great majority of share holders in the water company, wno thoroughly understand th direct source and the manner in which this commendatory resolution to. the present board of directors was passed.

Is it not' a piece of great inconsistency oh the part of the directors to cement Several miles more ditches, on the claim that we must have more water, or to increase the supply, when these same directors said, and maintained that we had such an increased supply of water by cementing and. other improvements already done as to warrant an Increase of the district by 6000 acres? Is it good and economical management of affairs at our present low financial condition, with a tremendous debt of nearly to beautify, and further increase the water supply, when we have enough water (so tne directors wno favored extension maintained before the election of October 19) for our present needs? Dors It look as though it was the policy of certain members of the board to make us eat pie whether to or not, and that they will increase the supply of water by cementing, no mat ter what the expense may be or what remuneration we mayor may not-get by the increase, as long as they force us Into an extension the.dlstrlot?

The necessary papers from Washington arrived pany, and from there to the eutwertb ers wishing to receive them, Include all heavy storms, cold waves, warm waves, sleet and storms, etc. This movement for bringing the weatner re ports more within the reach of the general public has the strong support of the chief of the Weather Bureau at Washington, and he has written to all tne principal cities urging the maKing of the necessary arrangements. In this way the country will be practi cauy covered. The value of such a service to business men will readily be seen. Shippers, for instance, often wish to know before deciding: on un packing or unloading perishable goods, whether there Is any probability of cold weather, and they have hitherto been limited to the two forecasts a day given in the papers, unless they went to some trouble to get the most recent probabilities.

Men who are contem plating building ditches, repairing houses, doing a hundred things that would be interfered with hy a storm, are constantly sending to the Weather Bureau for special information. When the weather in general Is warm and fine there is comparatively little Inquiry, but as soon as the season of storms and frost begins questions pour In from the adjoining country, as well as from the city. The forecasts as at present made are of great value In preventing loss to many commercial interests. The new which makes them more easily accessible. promises to be highly appreciated by tne public.

A NEW USE FOR BANK NOTES. It is pretty generally known that be fore Edison could find the material suitable for the filament of the lncan descent lamp, he had to ransack nearly every country in the hope of meeting with the kind of bamboo which he had decided was what he wanted. He tested over 400 kinds of bamboo, and finally came across the species for his purpose In the interior of Japan. From there he has since drawn his supplies regularly. A story is now going the rounds, which, if it is as true as it is interesting, will explain where the greater part of the Confederate paper money with which this country was flooded some years ago goes, and show that Japan is not the only source of filament material.

An old man of Atlanta Is said to make a business of quietly gathering in all the Confederate bank notes he 'can put his hands on. This paper was issuea ny tne ton during the war, and a great deal of it Is still floating around. The story goes that when the old man gets a big bundle of the paper he sends it to Edison, who pays a good price for it Edison uses tt to make carbon for his incandescent lamps. It seems strange that this substance has been hit upon for the purpose, until it is explained that the naDer on whloh these notes were engraved was made or tne puip or sea-grass. This branch of the paper-making industry has become a dead art.

Sea-grass paper, when chemically treated by Edison, has beep found to roaka the best sort of carbon for Incandescent lamps, and so there is always a demand for tha Con federate bills. WHY THE ARC LIGHT HISSES. Profy. Sylvanus Thompson has been answering a question which has often puzzled the public. The arc light pro ceeds from the points of two carbon rods as large as ones finger.

Prof. Thompson explains what is the state, of "the carbon when the lamp is throwing out its light. He says that the carbon is sometimes actually melting, a thing that was until recently thought Impossible. Moreover, he says that when the light hisses the llauid carbon is really boiling. In ordinary comDustion tne state 01 tne arc crater is such that solid carbon below is cov ered with a layer or film of liquid car- oon just boiling or evaporating off.

When hissing takes place, a new state of things is set up. He says: "If you watch a short, hissing arc. you will see a column of light concentrating itself on a narrow spot, and the spot keeps moving about, and is very unstable in position, as well as in the amount of Ught it gives out. The crater surface after the arc has been hissim? Is found to. be literally honeycombed.

When the arc is hissing you can see little bits erupted out, and the hissing seems to be comparable to tne nissmg which takes place in boiling water. There is. in fact, exactly the same kind of difference between the silent arc and the hissing arc as between quiet evapora tion ana a noisy boiling." REDLANDS. REDIiANDS, Dec 21.
